Who others should Bentiez get rid? - TalkSoccer

**Mighty T.A.L.** · 08-07-2006, 11:21 AM

Benitez have so far let Whitbread,Morientes,Cheyrou,Raven and Barragan go.And it's just a question of time before Hamann also leaves Anfield.I hope it won't stop there.After Aurelio signed we have also Riise,Traore and Warnock as options on the left back.At least one of this should go and i think that have to be Traore.At this moment we have 4 goalkeepers who all is good enough to play first team football in the Premiership.And they all knew it so it will be hard to keep them all and it's not needed.I know Benitez will sell one of them and maybe let one of them go out on loan.Dudek and Kirkland can be sold and Carson can be set on a loan move.Potter and Mellor have show they not good enough for the highest level.They got theirs chance and didn't improved no one.Sinama,Le Tallec,Diao,Zenden,Medjani and Kromkamp is also players who could be on the way out.Kewell have also been mentioned in a possibly move out.He,Zenden,Gonzalez,Riise,Garcia and Aurelio could all play in left winger position.It's so many options that I think Benitez revealed to let either Kewell or Zenden go.And at least...Cisse have no future and will leave Anfield.Marseille is keen to sign him on loan with an option to buy him.It's no secret that Cisse don't figure in Benitez plans.

I think the players who will see the least first team action out of those mentioned are Traore, he is not the standard we require, Warnock, Riise & probably Aurelio now are all better options at left back, less error prone and more composed on the ball. Likewise at centre back we now have Hyypia, Carragher, Agger & Paletta as options, no place for Traore.

Kirkland looks set to leave, he is too injury prone to be considered a first teamer. Wigan have been linked, and it wouldnt surprise me if he wound up there. Dudek may also look to leave, now we have two good young keepers in Reina & Carson. Dudek missed out on the Poland WC squad and i'm sure he will want to get some first team football in order to revive his international career, expect him to head off to the continent.

In midfield, Kewell is skating on thin ice, he had a half decent season last term- nothing special- and has lots of injury problems. The only thing that could save him is that people may be unwilling to a) spend money on such an unreliable player, and b) match his pretty hefty wages. Certainly in the premiership anyway.

The loan returnees will also be on their way surely, whether permanantly or for another season on loan. Le Tallec wasnt good enough for Sunderland, so he wont make any inroads into our first team, back to France is probably his best bet. Diao has already been told to find a new club, another Houllier legacy. Medjani has been with the club for 3/4 years and has never threatened the first team, i cant see that changing this season with our new additions. back to France again may be the best option for him. Sinama is a player who i genuinely rate, i think he could make it at the club. whether he will get the first team action he needs remains to be seen, it may be worth giving him til January on loan and see how he gets on.

FSP , ALT , Cisse , Diao (WTF? surely he is not still here? )

I don't really want either Zenden or Kewell to go .
I think Zenden is an excellent player while Kewell is moody . But he is finally showing something for us . So its a toughie . Keep both

The Rule · 08-07-2006, 03:48 PM

Zenden and Kewell can both go. We have Gonzalez and Aurelio for the left wing spot.

Traore can go.

LeTallec and Cisse can go(i wouldn't mind keeping them but it seems Rafa wants them gone)

Kirkland can go.

FSP should be kept.

I want all frenchmen out of Anfield+Diao.All that money spell.It's sad to think about.

The Rule · 12-07-2006, 01:26 PM

all frenchmen?? what did Sinama-Pongolle do wrong?? you can trace our cup successes in the last 2 years back to him coming on in early rounds when we were on our way out and turning matches in our favour.

Sinama haven't impressed in the highest level where Liverpool mostly play.He played some good games against League One teams,so what?.It's time for him to go.In Blackburn he was substitued and Dickov played instead.What's that?He's not good enough to play in a club with high ambitions.There is no interest from other clubs, so it seems we have to stick with him anyway.

what about his man of the match display away to Real Betis? or when he came on and got us level in the Olympiakos game within a minute? or his performance in an injury hit side that beat "invincible" Arsenal the season before last? or when he led the youth and reserve team to a Carling Cup win at Spurs, against their strongest XI?

sinama has done enough in the games he featured in to suggest he is worth a squad place

The Rule · 13-07-2006, 11:52 AM

exactly. And if given a frequent run on the right of midfield he could be a great player.
